Warning! 90+ pictures -- Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, IL

[DammitKhoa]

I visited my brother in Chicago this past week during my spring break. Love the food, must've gained 5-7 pounds in that short week lol the city was really different. I grew up in the Germantown MD my whole life, where everything is pretty spaced out compared to Chicago. Me and my siblings were always exploring different parts of the city.. eventually we got around to visiting the local Shedd Aquarium. Hope you guys enjoy these pictures

Btw, I'm by no means a good photographer... only about half way through the exhibit I started learning different functions of the camera. Even then, some of the pictures came out like crap


Man and fish


axolotl


This scomberoide was at least a foot long


electric eel



HUGE moral eel:







some of you guys think you're overstocked?

this thing was huge. the picture doesn't justify how big it is..


I've never been a fan of rays but these were just beautiful.




lol the toy is a miniature dolphin.. it was chasing it all over the glass

I hope I didn't spoil all the fun for the people planning to visit the aquarium in the future. Here are a few pictures I came across while I was uploading some on facebook. Hopefully I can go back sometime this summer. I actually like the city a lot more than where I currently live.. something about how the "city seems more alive"

looking down from the sears tower. they have clear boxes at the very top where the floor extends a bit and you'd basically be standing over top of glass overlooking everything down below your feet. talk about wide view lol



they got a cool little beach right at the edge of the city.



a giant bean lol. It was featured in the movie "Source Code"


for st patrick's day, they dyed the whole section of the river GREEN. It wasn't even a faded color of green..they went all out on w/e kind of dye they used lol green river, green people everywhere, it was nuts lol


me and my bro
